The Great Attractions in KCMO and KCK

Kansas City Barbeque

These two great cities at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers offer plenty to engage and entertain:

  • Museums and historical sites—There's much to pique the interests of history buffs here. On the Missouri side, you can visit the National WWI Museum and Memorial, with the most extensive collection of "Great War" artifacts in the world. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is here, sharing a facility with the American Jazz Museum. For a truly unique experience, spend time at the Arabia Steamboat Museum—the Arabia was a side-wheeler that sank back in 1856 and was rediscovered in 1988. Thousands of artifacts from the ship can be viewed at the Arabia Steamboat Museum.
  • There are also fascinating museums and historical sites in Kansas City, Kansas. The Strawberry Hill Museum, an 1880s Queen Anne Style mansion that served as an orphanage for nearly 70 years, now houses exhibits and artifacts chronicling the Slavic heritage in the KCK area. Grinter Place, a living representation of life on the frontier in the 1820s, has a wide array of artifacts from the 19th century, including family bibles, quilt blocks, family photos and a Union cavalry sword. Shawnee Town, on the west end of Kansas City, Kansas gives you a taste of daily life in a 1920s farm community.

  • Arts and culture — The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, in KCMO, is renowned throughout the country for its comprehensive collection of art from around the world, particularly its vast Asian art offerings. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art houses works by Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Georgia O'Keeffe, Andrew Wyeth, Robert Mapplethorpe and other celebrated modern artists.
  • Kansas City is considered one of the birthplaces of much traditional American music, including jazz and the blues. Not surprisingly, both cities offer a wide array of musical genres at venues large and small, from the Arvest Bank Theatre to the Kansas City Juke House. The Kansas City Symphony performs at the Kaufman Center for the Performing Arts, in KCMO. Enjoy productions by the Lyric Opera of Kansas City at the Richard J. Stern Opera Center, on the Missouri side.

  • Great food in the heartland — KC has its own unique style of barbeque, with a ketchup and molasses based sauce that makes it richer than other versions. The best way to have your barbeque? Try a local favorite called "burnt ends," where they cut the meat into small pieces and let it get a little blackened on the cooker. You'll also find some of the country's best steakhouses here, as well as places to get pork just about any way you can imagine—ribs, chops, pulled, or chopped. But there's a culinary diversity in the Kansas Cities that may surprise you. Make certain you try some bierocks while you're here—they're tasty pockets of dough filled with cabbage and hamburger, a testament to the German tradition in KC. The German influence also appears with grebble, deep-fried balls of dough made with sour cream, buttermilk and eggs. The vibrant foodie scene here also includes Armenian, African, Pakistani, Caribbean, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Polynesian and Turkish cuisine.
  • Retail therapy — The first outdoor shopping mall in America was built in KCMO. The cities have long been a mecca for shoppers, offering boutiques, malls, outlet stores, antique emporiums and funky little shopping districts. For the mega-mall experience, head over to Oak Park (nearly 200 stores) or the Country Club Plaza (about 175 retailers). The Zona Rosa, billed as a "shopping district," has dozens of high-end retailers, as well as many of your favorite eateries. One Nineteen also offers upscale shopping and dining at world-class venues. Outlet shoppers will want to make a beeline for Legends. Shoppers seeking that "one-of-a-kind" experience will find it in Brookside, a neighborhood of fashionable homes and specialty stores. Antique hounds will want to visit West Bottoms or head out to the antique malls in nearby Parkville or Lawrence.

Make Your Trip Better with the Right Bus

You won't find a better way to take a group somewhere than in the comfort, luxury and convenience of a charter bus. It's important, though, to take the time to find the ideal coach for your group and your trip.

At US Coachways, we'll take the time to learn the details of your event—how many will be attending, how far you'll be traveling, what you'll want to bring or take home, and any other special needs of your participants. Then we'll go to our unmatched national network of charter bus vendors to find the coach that works best for you.

If you're on your way to Kansas City with a small-to-medium-sized group, consider the mini-bus. It comes in a number of models, seating anywhere from 24 to 35. For larger groups, the full-sized charter bus is the ticket, with accommodations for up to 57 and a bathroom on the bus. Multiple bus rentals are typically an option, and ADA-accessible coaches are available.

High-back bucket seats, climate control, a great sound system and plenty of storage space are standard features on most charter buses. Other modern conveniences, such as Wifi, DVD players and monitors, electrical outlets and USB ports, public address systems, hardwood floors and leather seats, may also be available for an extra charge. Check with your booking agent.
